Spitzhaubens

[Aussie-Chookmum]

I do need to know more about this grass that can cut to the bone. You must not be able to walk in the grass without steel toe boots.

That's brilliant training. What a lot of patience he has, as well as a great relationship with his hen. Well done!

Edit. Found it on YouTube and up voted it.

Our solo Spitzhauben chick, now 8+ weeks, looks like a cockerel.
Meanwhile, Violetta, the Spright hen that hatched him, went broody again and she’s in the basement in broody jail....


The chick, who I’m calling Junior for now, has a healthy respect for all chickens and humans. He may be a good understudy for our rooster, Beldar. Time will tell...

Pretty bird - but I must admit that I Beldar. He's one of my favorite roosters (that isn't mine.)

Spitz chicks, all Chamois.

I REALLY like the one on the right. Good dark down, nice dark wing feathers coming in... and perfect dark feet.

Another shot of my favorite

2 group shots.

8 hatched, one just died right off, no visible reason....

So 7 chicks.

I FINALLY got some new pictures of my new cockerel and pullet. I ordered these guys this spring and so far am quite happy with how they look in regards to their spangling. Not crazy about the girls poofy crest, but it is forward raking.

DS is going to want to "borrow" that male.
Of course Poof Poof is currently raising chicks so no sleep overs in the near future.

Wow! I really love the uniform speckling on his breast.

this is one of mine:

We got alot of work to do to improve the hairdo on the Spitzhaubens!

Please keep in mind that the SOP is for a mid sized forward thrust, not some huge polish-like bushel basket on top of the head.

"Improvement" does not always mean bigger.


Facebook has an active spitzhuaben page with lots of helpful files and information.

I've been wondering about the polish like crests. It's like you read my mind!
